A plant dual-kinase protein traps a pathogen effector to trigger immunity - Nature Genetics
Tandem kinase proteins (TKPs) are key regulators of plant immunity. We found that RWT4, a wheat TKP, confers resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae by directly recognizing the effector A...

Plant pathogenic fungi hijack phosphate signaling with conserved enzymatic effectors | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A wonderful collaboration with the Schaffrath @rwth.bsky.social and Oliveira-Garcia groups! Huge credit to Carl Mcombe and Alex Wegner.
Plant pathogenic fungi hijack phosphate signaling with conserved enzymatic effectors
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential for life, and plant cells monitor Pi availability by sensing inositol pyrophosphate (PP-InsP) levels. In this work, we describe the hijacking of plant phosphate s...

HI old friends! Finally took the leap here to say I have several open positions going in my lab at the moment (and more to come).
1) PhD studentship in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society (genomics)
2) Biochemistry Postdoc to understand how Starships move
